VFL R8: Richmond vs Essendon --- Sat. May 28 @ Punt Rd [curtain-raiser]

Doesn't need to be cause of jack

He can play a small not be franklin and kick 2-3 goals a game

Or we can play Chaplin as a tall forward what could go wrong

[tony_montana]

or he could play tall better (he is 204cm's) and utilize his mobility to become an even more potent player. Dont know why you want a 204cm small fwd when we could have a 204cm tall nightmare matchup that is hard to spoil but also dangerous on the ground. Otherwise just stick a strong shorter mobile afl defender on him to negate his ground skills and hes cactus

[Yeahright]

Don't think he's athleticism will transfer as well to AFL either. A lot of athletic guys in the AFL (even Fletcher at 40 ran rings around him).

[Diocletian]

McBean is considerably more athletic & agile than Vickery....not sure Fletcher "ran rings around him" either...my memory is that he beat him in about two or three contests by using his 20 extra years of footy experience rather than superior athleticism but McBean also won a couple and they halved the rest....and really, even if you disagree with that, it's a bit like writing off a 20 year-old mid for being toweled up by 38 year-old Harvey....

[Yeahright]

Not writing him off, but it's just an example of where I thought an opposition player out maneuvered him. If he can add some marking (doesn't have to be the best contested mark in the comp) to his game, and some effort to hit more packs consistently he'll have a lot of strings to his bow and could be dangerous
